Mirahmadi is currently undergoing chemotherapy at UCLA. He goes every three weeks for the actual treatment and takes a strict regimen of pills in between. So far, things are going well, with some side effects, especially after an infusion.
“The way I look at it, like in a video game, I’m completely in bonus time right now,” Mirahmadi said.

Get better Frank. The game needs someone like you who makes it so much fun for the rest of us to enjoy. |
A good and informative read about horseracing other than handicapping and wagering; thanks for posting the link.

I am usually not much for the "human side" of horse racing- my idea of a great turf writer is Andy Beyer. 
But if you wanted to read that sort of material, Christine was as good at it as anyone I have ever read. He did great stuff in 1985 on Spend A Buck's owners Dennis and Linda Diaz and why they skipped the Preakness, for instance.

Though I have never met frank, in person, he seems to be a very likeable personality in the NYRA live shows when he substitutes. Great news!!!

Obviously. But at a time when the Diazes were getting slammed in the press, Christine humanized them. I thought it was very good journalism.
